Ordered a Mini via a Scheme

[dspalton]

Quick question.
The mrs' work do an employee scheme to buy IT equipment.
We ordered the Mini, it was withdrawn as we have reordered the 'NEW' models, but its showing as

Mac mini quad-core i7 2.6GHz/4GB/1TB/HD Graphics

Is this an actual config?

Not for the 2014 model.

Yep. Late 2012 model: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_mini/specs/mac-mini-core-i7-2.6-late-2012-specs.html

Ah, thats useful then.
Being the ate 2012 the RAM is upgradable then isn't it?
And its the i7 Quad Core proc too 🙂

RAM, yes, up to 16GB. Processor, no. Refer to the link I posted for complete specs.

Might be me being thick here but it shows
'processor with four independent processor "cores"
Is that not the quad same as the i7 on the MBA?

AFAIK, yes. The Mini is a MBA.

Cool, my MBA has the 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7 so the 2.6GHZ i7 must be a cracker for the unit

Actually looking at that spec page the MBA is only 2 cores plus 2 virtual ones.
My iMac is 4 Cores, and this Mini Should be 4 Cores.

But the geek bench stuff is impressive, the mini's scores beat the iMac...

Incorrect, it is a quad core.

 

[dspalton]

Incorrect, it is a quad core.

good news that its the Quad Core, and that it can be upgraded with the RAM.
Guess I'm onto a winner with it then?

Dave

 

[GGJstudios]

Incorrect, it is a quad core.

I said it is a quad core. So what is incorrect?

GGJ, sorry it might be my bad looking at it.
I thought you said the 'Processor, no' meaning it wasn't a Quad Core one.

This bit sounds good

and "Hyper Threading" -- which allows the system to recognize eight total "cores" or "threads" (four real and four virtual).

Yes, it's a quad core (post #3). No, it's not user-upgradable, unlike the RAM (in response to post #4).

A shoot, my bad i read them together. sorry mate.

All received, thank you 😎

Yep, but nobody asked about if it was user upgradable, you just told him it wasn't QC.

Hey guys
Sorry it was just the RAM I meant that was upgradable.
And with the processor in the specs, it's the quad core i7
